The Ex-Guber on Tumblr

A constant feed from my Tumblr blog, where I have now parked myself after realizing I'm not enjoying Blogger that much.

Stick It Up Your Nose!

I have snorted tea by mistake.

I wouldn't recommend this. I, myself, wouldn't even think about it, but somehow I choked whilst drinking my tea and accidentally snorted a good gulpful. I now feel dizzy.

Of course, this wouldn't be the first time I've snorted someting I shouldn't up my nose (and I'm not talking about coke). I don't know why I keep snorting stuff up my nose that I shouldn't. Perhaps it's because, apart from breathing, I don't see the nose's function as important as the other bits of my face that sense things: I value my ears highly, being a musician and sound engineer, and being a filmmaker I value my eyes. Both require my voice, the ability to sing (although this is much disputed) and/or act (even more disputed) requiring both. And then of course there's my hands. But the nose? Don't use it that much, except to breath. Perhaps that's why I snort so much crap.

Like MSG.

Somewhere out there, on someone's computer, lies a video of me and a few friends snorting the contents of the 'flavouring' packet usually found in a packet of Mamee. This stuff is MSG to the max and for some reason it became a bet to snort the stuff at a Valentine's day party at my house.

And what's it like? I don't even like the stuff down my mouth. Up my nose? Nasty. A bit tingly, too.

And yet, not as bad as sugar.

No, not the fine powdered sugar. Granulated sugar. It physically hurts, that stuff. And the weirdest bit? From then on, every breath, every bite you take, it's all sweet.

And for some reason I woke up the next morning with sugar in my pockets and hair.

I bet my nose hates me.
